SynopsisThe story centers around Tsukimi Kurashita, a huge fan of jellyfish (kurage, a wordplay on the "kura/mi" and "tsuki/ge" in her name) and a girl who moves to Tokyo to become an illustrator. She moves into "Amamizukan," an apartment complex that is full of fujoshi (diehard female otaku) with a no-men-allowed rule. However, one day, Tsukimi invites a stylishly fashionable woman to stay at her room at Amamizukan—only to discover that the guest is not who "she" seems to be.

The peaceful life of a group called the "Amars" (nun) suddenly gets disturbed by a stylish person! Wow. There's already so much contrast in that one sentence alone you know that the story is going to be good. :D

Kuragehime was first introduced to me in its anime form; I got really interested in the anime so I decided to check out the manga afterwards. For me who was also obsessed with various things like boy bands, games, movies, TV shows, and novels I can relate to the characters feelings. I wasn't an eccentric fangirl like the main characters but the emotional experience are basically the same.
I'm honestly enjoying this manga a lot more than I expected. The anatomy of the characters bodies aren't as detailed as I would like but it's different and I got use to it after a while. The main characters emotional struggles of understanding their feelings is relatable in a very humorous way. I only read up to Chapter 24, but the story now seems to be progressing a lot more than the anime did and I can't say anything anymore because that might just spoil it. ;p
If you've ever been obsessed (could be extremely obsessed, moderate or mild) of anything or anyone in your life you just might enjoy reading this manga. :) read more

Please Note if you have watched the anime you can skip to chapter 22 as the anime does follow the manga as a script up to this point. From there it starts jumping around.
Great read for anyone who had to ask "Wait what?" At the end of the anime. Get your prayers answered and read!!

Both main characters are not confident about their appearance and people around try to help them. They also have a tendency to runaway from "beautiful looking" people.
They're really similar except in Wallflower it's one girl and group of boys and in Kuragehime there's one (cross-dressing) boy and group of girls. In both the boy(s) try to make the girl(s) who don't care about their appearance look beautiful.

These two manga are probably the most similar out of all the recommendations I've made. First of all, both manga have cross-dressing boys who make beautiful girls and girls who don't find themselves as pretty as they are. There are also a lot of modeling in both.
However, Charming Junkie focuses almost completely on modeling, while Jellyfish Princess wanders and included modeling as well as fashion design. The art is really well done in both manga as well. I feel as though Jellyfish Princess also follows the same theme, which implies that everyone can be beautiful no matter what they look like, as Charming Junkie.
I'd say that Jellyfish Princess is a lot better for those who want to read something that would touch their hearts a little. Charming Junkie is great for people who like romance and sadistic male leads with a penchance for crossdressing. However, you don't necessarily have to fit into either of these categories to enjoy either manga.
